Coleman Repeats On The First Team; Bo Moore Receives Second-Team Recognition

Coleman was a repeat selection after garnering first-team accolades last season and second-team recognition in 1999. He was one of two wide receivers to attain first-team honors while Moore was among three defensive lineman to receive second-team kudos.

The NCAA Division II all-time leader in career pass receptions (323) and receiving yards (4,983), Coleman was recently chosen to the American Football Coaches Association's (AFCA) 2001 Division II Coaches' All-America Team and was selected a 2001 D2Football.com First-Team All-American on special teams. Both a two-time (2000-01) All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) First-Team pick and FSU Most Valuable Player, Coleman led the nation this season in all-purpose yards (2,618) while ranking third nationally in receiving yards (122.4 ypg.), tied for fourth in receptions (8.5 rpg.) and sixth in punt returns (15.9 ypr.). Coleman, the 2001 GLIAC Co-Offensive Back of the Year, registered 572 yards on 36 punt returns and had 29 kickoff returns for 661 yards (22.8 ypr.) this season. He also had 84 receptions for 1,346 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 14.3 yards per catch in 11 contests. The 5-11, 182-pound Coleman concluded his four-year career with 42 touchdown receptions while averaging 7.7 receptions per game, 15.4 yards per catch and 118.6 receiving yards a contest in 42 career outings. The 2000 consensus All-American closed out his career ranking among all four NCAA division career leaders in six statistical categories - second in receptions, third in receiving yards, sixth in all-purpose yards (8,009), ninth in receiving yards per game, tied for 13th in receptions per contest and tied for 16th in touchdown receptions. Coleman, who holds 11 school career and single-season records, totaled 11 double-figure reception games and 27 100-yard plus receiving single-game performances in his career. The Ferris State wideout is also the GLIAC's all-time record holder in receptions (291), receiving yards (4,594), all-purpose yards (7,227), punt return touchdowns (five) and receiving touchdowns (40). Coleman was among nine national finalists for the 2001 Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA-II College Football Player of the Year and finished fifth overall with 52 points in the final balloting.

A 2001 All-GLIAC First-Team performer, Moore placed third among the team's leading tacklers with a personal career-best 68 tackles (47 solos) in 11 contests. He paced the Bulldogs in tackles for loss with 15.5 for 63 yards, including 10 quarterback sacks (nine solo) for minus 47 yards, and had a team-leading 23 quarterback hurries. Moore, who was the recipient of FSU's Most Improved Defensive Player Award this season, recorded a season-high nine tackles apiece at Saginaw Valley State (9/15) and against Northwood (9/29). The 6-2, 235-pound defensive lineman also notched eight tackles versus 2001 NCAA National Champion runner-up Grand Valley State (10/6). He finished the 2001 campaign tied for 17th nationally in quarterback sacks (0.91 avg.) and ranked third among the conference's sack leaders.

Ferris State concluded the 2001 season with a 7-4 overall record, including a 7-3 mark (third place) in the GLIAC.
